Kawhi Thread, Numero 4 -- Traded to Raptors for DeRozan, others

[Afam]

Still don't know what the celtics offered for Kawhi both at the trade deadline, and now. Odd.

We probably won't until Kawhi is dealt.

[ermocrate]

I’ll refute one thing with Woj about this, we have it on real good authority regarding his injury that he’s close to 100% and we have no issue with it.

And I mean we are extremely comfortable.

Sounds good and all but theres not even a rumor out there as of now that Kawhi is interested in playing for Boston sadly.

It's because he is not interested in playing in Superteams... Anyway once he plays on PO game here he won't be playing anywhere else.

Woj saying on ESPN there's no bidding war for Kawhi. Looks like suitors for Kawhi are punching back hard.

Good. Question for all you who want to trade a cost controlled stud for a player who is a compete unknown as to his mental state etc.

I saw pics of Jaylen at summer league practice, along with Tatum. No reason for Jaylen to be there, and I know Tatum was asked but he was happy to do it. Thats incredible and incredibly rare for young players.

And theres some (most) of you who would immediately destroy that chemistry for a dude who was hurt, played games with SA, has a crazy uncle he is listening to and wants to play in LA.

Its pure insanity. It truly is.

[ermocrate]

It’s not one year guaranteed though, he would sign long term 100%. They just jumped the gun with saying “LAKERS ONLY” now they need to back pedal a bit.

Yeah just like Paul George was 100% going there this year and at the end of the day didn't even take a meeting. A lot can change in one year. Dude could hate LA..could hate Lebron or Magic..It's not 100% until that signature is on that piece of paper..I wouldn't trade that package for him even if he flat out told me he would resign. Nothing about this dude makes me believe in his word..put that **** on paper or no deal.

I don't hate them but that's the easiest thing to do, one it's a moaner and the other it's an eversmiling puppet, both like to act like Divas but at least Magic fits the role while LBJ always looks like a kid at his first communion.

I believe ddb mentioned hat Kawhi´s priority is LA, but that he would consider playing here if he is not traded to the Lakers, and that he would be open to signing an extension here.

[ConstableGeneva]

Marcus Smart will be a Celtic on a friendly long-term deal or a Spur on a huge one-year deal (2nd & 3rd year unguaranteed). No sources. Pure guesswork/wishful thinking.

[Celtic Esquire]

Others have been say long but I am on board now.

**** Kawhi.

He can sit out this entire year for all I care. Good luck in LA being LBJ’s b*tch. Ask Kevin Love how that worked out.

[Celtic Esquire]

And his crazy uncle can go play in traffic.

Ask Vince Young how that worked out when he put his hanger on uncle in charge of his career.

shoot...go after Butler instead....

Kawhi is a better player.

Indeed. A FAR better player.

[SmartWentCrazy]

Its low key hilarious that Kawhi considers Boston a superteam, but does not consider Philly a superteam

[OldCeltics]

We don't need this malcontent, who doesn't want to play for Celtics /endthread

Yea, hilarious. I'd legit agree to cut 15 years of my life to play for the Celtics for 5. And I mean it.

Well to be honest, Kawhi/Kyrie/Hayward/Horford/Tatum >>>>> Embiid/Kawhi/Simmons.

Also, Kyrie/Hayward/Horford/Brown/Tatum/bench > Embiid/Kawhi/Simmons.

The Celtics are pretty much guaranteed to win a ring with Kawhi whereas the 76ers still probably don't even make it out of the East.

Oh, I agree fully with it, I just know it must annoy the **** outta Philly fans and I take joy from that

Ahh gotchya.

Yeah like I said the other day: as far as I'm concerned, Philly isn't even the second-best team in the East right now. That title belongs to Indiana.

[truth18]

Pretty hilarious how LeBron may end up alone in LA. No one likes this douche and it's obvious.

It wasn't obvious. Almost everyone on here gave multiple "George/Kawhi/Cousins" will be there 100% takes. So far they are all wrong.

And AD is better than both. Doesn’t mean you can get him.

[Green_teamer]

I'm not giving up ANYTHING of significant value for Butler.

Brown and sac pick should get it done.

Hell no. I would absolutely give up Brown for Kawhi Leonard, but for Jimmy Butler? No. The dude turns 29 years old in September, has chronic knee issues and is up for a new contract next summer and will want the max. I'm not paying him max money.

They would trade us Butler for Brown str8 up if the money worked. I'm all set. Brown is 7 years younger and could end up better.

Welp, others have said it but happy 4th of Kawhi.

Hope you enjoy some fireworks IRL!
